- Aliphatic hydrocarbons (II) :
isooctane, gasoline, petroleum naphtha, mineral spirit and kerosine. - Aromatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons (II) :
toluene, xylene, methylcyclohexane, tetralin, decalin, dipentene, cymene, terpene, α-pinene and turpentine oil. - Higher alcohols (II) : 2-ethylbuthylalcohol, 2-ethylhexylalcohol, nonylalcohol, decylalcohol and cyclohexanol.

- Organic silicons (II) : dimethylpolysiloxane, cyclopolysiloxane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane.
- The organic solvents (II) may optionally contain nonionic surface active agents and/or water
- In a rinsing step of said cleaning method, rinsing may be conducted by using a mixture comprising said cyclic fluorohydrocarbons and at least one rinsing auxiliary selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons (III), lower alcohols (III) and ketones (III) shown below. A proportion of rinsing auxiliaries blended is preferably less than 20 %. When the proportion of rinsing auxiliaries blended is less than 10 %, the mixture becomes nonflammable, thereby more preferable.
- As shown above, said rinsing auxiliaries and said cyclic fluorohydrocarbons may be blended. The mixture is more preferably azeotropic. A mixture comprising said cyclic fluorohydrocarbons and at least one rinsing auxiliary selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons (III), lower alcohols (III) and ketones (III) is preferably azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition.
